The first round of the 2022 Matchplay Championship was played last Saturday and congratulations to the winners. The summary of the results and the Semi Final match ups are:

Tee times for the Semi Finals next week are 11:12 for C Grade, 11:18 for B Grade, 11:24 for A Reserve and 11.36 for The Championship.

Could all players please maintain a satisfactory pace of play. The pace of play in Round 1 particularly from the early groups was most unsatisfactory and resulted in rounds well in excess of 5 hours for the field that followed.

With only 23 qualifying rounds to go now is the time to get cracking and post a good qualifying score to play in the final on 27 March. Please see [here] for the current leader board to 6 February 22. Please ensure you get your cards stamped before each qualifying round. There is still plenty of time to register and qualify for this event. The full list of qualifying scores is [here]. Remember it only costs $10 to enter and $2 per qualifying round.

Round 2 of the Metropolitan Major Pennant saw our boys head to St Michael’s for their return leg. A 7am tee off would normally see still conditions but unfortunately this was not the case. High winds and fast greens made the already tough St Michael’s course even more difficult. Birdies were rare and many holes were won or halved with bogies. Our boys fought hard, but the home course advantage proved too strong, and we were defeated 6-1.

Our only win came from Alex Platts who handled the conditions well. He ground out a 2 and 1 win in a see-sawing contest. Chris Lawler was our next best and carried on his Saturday form taking Harrison Crowe all the way to the 17^th hole before succumbing. St Michael’s proved too strong in the other matches taking the wins comfortably.

Thank you to all that came out and supported, in particular young guns Kyle, Ryder and Zavier. We would also like to make special mention of Steve from Southern Cross Minibuses who looked after us with a mini coach for the trip.

Our next match will be against Pymble Golf Club this Sunday 13^th February at Penrith. The first match will tee off at 11am.
